Does movement (like walking) interrupt music because you can hear every bumping sound the cable makes against your legs, body etc? I have owned Skullcandy Ink'd earbuds and when I walk with them the cable sends all the noise to my ears (isolated from all other sounds) and it interrupts the music flow. I was wondering if the J2 earbuds are better in this area. Anyone know?

I've read posts that there are third party sellers selling counterfeit Sennheiser products. Did you purchase yours directly from Amazon and not a third party? Just curious.

I've read posts that bigfoot and the chupacabra are running rampant in the SE United States, too.

I am a runner too. These headphones don't really work for me. I run with my ipod in my hand so it might be different for someone who uses an arm band. But I don't like the volume control. It is heavy and bounces around. I try to use the clips to prevent this...but the clips are in awkward places that dont really work. And sometimes my arm catches on the cord and the buds and clips go flying everywhere and I start swearing. Also if it a hot day and I get sweaty, there is no hope, the buds slip right out. I do however Really like the Sennheiser CX 685 Adidas Sports In-Ear Headphones. These do not have the volume control and clips... much more simple. The buds always stay in. I am a runner too.

I hear it too sometimes - sounds in your skull are amplified. Try chewing gum or tapping on your forehead and you'll see what I mean. When you walk with solid heels the shock goes all the way through your spine into your skull and you actually hear it. I wear nice cushy athletic shoes often and I don't get the thump (as much) with those. I also get some microphonic cord noise - and have to clip the cord away from collars. I still think it's worth it. These are the only phones you can use in the NYC subway and still get good sound.

I ware mine behind my head and have never had problems with them moving. I have used them when doing yard work. Love these headphones well worth the money.

Sure, go ahead and take a bite of the apple, you surely won't die!Seriously, why take the chance. Go with the Skullcandy Ink'd instead. They sound nearly exactly like the more expensive V-Moda Base Freq.

I use them when I go for walks at the park and they are perfect, but, I believe that depending on what type of activity you are doing at the gym. I believe that they would not work very well in a activity where your head is moving all the time, the headphone would tend move.

I run about half a mile every other day and I used it for the 1st time. I had my ipod touch in my armband and used Jabra Sport but didn't experience any disconnected sound.

Yes. I had that problem. I think it's because of charge induced in the cable from static electricity or could be from bending of the cable. I love the sound, best pair I have owned..had to return them because control button induced noise and commanded iPhone to go to next song. They need to adopt Bose cable system. Bose does not have isolalation which is a problem in noisy environments like a gym; but Bose provides true surround sound with with their speaker on the outside of your ear.

First, I am not a person who works out, and I can only imagine you are referring to being in the gym, running etc.so that it quite a bit of movement. I do use these daily, in fact I often go to bed wearing them, listening to music, for sleep and relaxation programs. I turn often in my sleep and am forever moving my pillow. These pretty much stay in with this kind of close contact and are consistent over time. I would consider that also a function of how good the ear bud cushions fit your ear. Mine have worked out well. I still find the chord is great since it does not tangle into the usual nightmare ball that other ear bud do. That of course, may be a plus or minus for you, because I don't know where your chord will be during any potions of your workout. I do use these while in my workshop, while cooking etc. often by throwing the long length of chord over my head so it lays on my back and stays out of my way. Hope this helps.

CX 685 has adapters that fit in the opening to your ear canal which creates kind of a seal. The MX is more of a ear bud that fits outside your ear canal. The CX has better noise isolation and the sound quality is better but if you run then the bounce in the cord can transmit back to earphones and can become annoying. The sound quality of the MX is very good. I run and use these because I do not like the bouncing noise of the cord. It does take a little getting use to the finger that fits in the nook of your ear fold and it holds much better compared to an ear bud. After sampling several different brands, these are my favorite for running. If I didn't run or bounce around while exercising I'd use the CX.

These buds have several different sized ear pieces so that you theoretically can find the right size that wedges into your ear. That said, they will probably come out if you're running or if the line gets tugged. However, I only wore them to work out a couple of times. My impression is that they don't have as good of sound quality as the apple buds that came with my ipod. I eventually went with "on ear" headphones.

I use earbuds however, I didn't like the fit so I use the ones that came with my iphone. I have an old set of Koss headphones and the pin type plug in works fine with it. I don't use them because they are bulky but I just tried them and the sound was fine. If the Sansa ever quits working and is charged. Reset it by holding the start button for a minute or so. It did that once to me and restarted ok.

niether do I. yes you hear things...it's disturbing but the headphone has really good bass response and it's very comfortable while exercising. taking everything into account it's well worth buying...

I've had both. Sadly they both suffered from the same problem. They became disconnected from the bud itself. It was nice having the big water proof dongle for runs and things like that but ultimately I think that the sound quality was roughly the same between the two. I had both for about 6-9 months. Don't get me wrong these are great earbuds but I did expect them to last longer and I will probably not purchase them again. Currently I have both the Harman Kardon BT over-ear headphones and the NC model as well. No complaints yet.

I have not experienced any issues when I go out walking or jogging, but that is the extent of my exercising. I do not do much weightlifting, although I wear these things all day long and haven't had issues with them falling off. During work I only hang one side since my headphone for work uses the other ear. :)

that depends on how fast you set it. Generally speaking, no it will not disturb others. I walk at 1.9 mph (that's the speed at which I can still type effectively) and on phone calls where I cannot mute the phone, I go up to 2.5 mph - above that it does interfere with the phone call. I also have two 4" fans on my desk - in the warmer months they help! The "Holmes" 4" metal fan is very quiet. It is a wall plug in. I also have a USB 4" fan, but it's nosier. The other thing I did (for me) was to purchase Outdoor Tech Orca Bluetooth wireless earbuds. I listen to my Amazon Music player via iPad and it gives me great flexibility. Been using it for a year and would never NOT use one. that depends on how fast you set it. Generally speaking, no it will not disturb others.
